2013 Texans Draft Needs?

Bullock will be fine, before aggravating his groin he was dominate early in camp, then began his decline due to injury. Probably bpa for position of need. Hope you didn't mind I mocked you :tiphat:

I don't think that churning up the foot-ballers on this team is such a bad idea but it seems like Bullock was handed the job and still couldn't do it. With the Texans history I don't totally buy the injury but I suppose he is owed at least one more shot...

I didn't mind at all. You guys are much farther along than I am so now I have some names to go research. Tell you one that would be awesome and I've seen badboy praise him too....Dion Jordan. I think he would be perfect for this D.

Let me toss you another name I have been watching, Quanteras Smith DE/OLB Western Kentucky. He plays with 3 Amigo mock selection Andrew Jackson. 7.5 sacks 2011 and 12.5 this year. He was suspended for one game "team rule violation" but I cannot find out what. Could be missed a meeting,etc
 
i think CB and safety have jumped up the board for me in the last few weeks. both positions have solid starters but consistent competition and pressure is required which i think we lack in these areas.
Behind JJo and K-jax is ball, mccain, harris and carmichael who havnt done anything. McCain hasnt been all bad but we need compeition in this area.

Behind Quinn and Manning is demps and Keo. I like demps i think his a playmaker and keo is an excellent special teamer but i think we need to add in an extra guy here to get the most out of this group.
 
at the moment my key areas are
OT, OG, TE, ILB, OLB, NT, CB, S

my reasoning is either depth is not very good, so incase of injury, or the starters need to be upgraded or pushed

funny no one drinks fosters in australia, you go overseas and its everywhere.
but i like the way you think. williams is a beast of a man and would be a great pick up. im thinking him or nix from ND as first round NTs to look at
 
Alot of this depends on things like do they re-sign Walter-Quin-Barwin-McCain?

How well do Mercilus/Barwin play in Reeds place?

Right now I think needs go something like this WR/RT/K/NT/CB/ILB/OLB/S/P.

If Quin leaves, the way the Texans use him S goes to need #1.

i would probably agree with this. i dont see quinn leaving though.
With butler, caldwell, and one of james or dobbins leaving, chuck in maybe mccain plus restructuring and maybe some other moves i think we keep all our key guys.
 
I see our needs currently as:
1. NT, Cody will be gone in FA and Mitchell is not ready or able to be a full time NT.
2. WR, Jean has had 2 yrs. and done nothing, Posey should be fighting for a roster spot next season, Martin is impressive in the slot at WR#3.
3. OT/OG, Caldwell will be gone and we need better depth/starters at OG. A guy like Ricky Wagner or Dallas Thomas that can do both would be nice.
4. CB, we lose McCain to FA and some CB talent needs to be added.
5. ILB, James or Dobbins leaving and a talent upgrade in depth is needed.
6. DE, Jamison is hurt bad and may not come back. Upgrade the depth quality.
7. P, field position is so important.

I think we lose Caldwell, McCain, Dobbins or James, Cody, and Gardner or Harris. With the freed up dead money and loss/replacement of veteran players we re-sign Barwin and Quin. We might also kick Reed inside to ILB and draft some depth at OLB.

I could live with that :)

here's how I would look at it, target Nix III start calling around 20 to move up & address NT with a dominant NFL body in the middle. Next round go CB or WR depending on who is there? then OT/ILB with two thirds. That pretty much is meat & potatoes of immediate need aligned with available talent this draft & historical value per positions. Then I would look for a potential great under valued OG in 4th. Depending on which way I went in 2nd go opposite in 5th WR/CB. Probably use some of our own picks to move up in first for Nix so still retain comp picks 6th & 7th netting a RB & Punter. Now that would be more than good that would be awesome :evil:
